Kristianstad's defender Mia Carlsson went into a duel with Linköping's Uchenna Kanu in yesterday's damallsvenska match. In the nasty situation, the left ankle was twisted in an unnatural way.
National team meritorious Carlsson writhed in pain on the ground and shouted "foot, foot" before she was carried out on a stretcher.

"Is so important to us"

After the match, it was clear that it was a broken leg.

 - She broke her leg… it is obvious that it is serious. But we still do not know if it will be surgery or if she will be plastered immediately, coach Elisabeth Gunnarsdottir said after the match to Kristianstadsbladet, and further explained that the team now looks to be forced to do without Carlsson for a long time:

- The first forecast, she says, is gone in the coming months, unfortunately. She is so important to us, she is complete in every way. She is a leader, the experience she has, her football skills and she was very good today before the injury.
